In 1991, in the middle of my freshman year of high school, I moved from Karns, Tennessee to Wellington, Florida. Although I didn’t fully realize it at the time, it most certainly was a culture shock coming from a moderately rural community to a growing suburb of West Palm Beach.

Great week this week. Lots of progress made with a new venture I’m working on with my brother. If someone told me in my teens I would be in business with my brother, I would have told them to please see a doctor. Strange how life winds it’s way sometimes. At any rate, keep an eye out for posts on the new project. We should be pushing out the news next week. This week brought…

Short list this week. I’ve been busy sinking into Azure Storage and how to interact with it. It has been a long while since I wanted to continue sitting at the computer after a full day of sitting at a computer at the day job. When was the last time that happened to you?

More on that at a later date. I hope you…
